where my heart is

i'm going to plan a euro trip for may-ish. i can't take it anymore.

i. must. be. in. london.

so, if anyone wants to go, that's the time frame. i'm pretty sure i'm open to any travel, as long as i get to spend a few days/nights in london. i'd love to go to spain, greece, scotland, or italy.

again, you'd pretty much be able to talk me in to anything.

so, i'm going to start saving, and i'll prob try to book within then the next few months, cause tickets are cheap right now for may travel.

ps. mr. sinatra is rocking my world today.

why do rugs cost so much?

i would like to get a nice one, but i'm really not sure why they cost so much. they go on the floor, to be walked on. i'm just not sure it makes any sense at all.

oh well.

sigh.

are the details in the fabric?

i'm already to get in my pjs...is that bad. i also really want to have a dance party.

:-)

pjs and dance parties make the world go round.

bagles and strawberry cream cheese

is what i had for breakfast. mmm that makes me happy. i rarely have enough time in the mornings to actually make breakfast.

it's all icy out. it almost looks like snow, but it is not. i am still holding firm...i want some snow. i'm afraid that i will not be able to continue living in OK if i don't get some snow. i pretty much look forward to it all year long...

so, snow, show yourself!

that's nice

we moved desks today at work. i hope i can get re-oriented. i do like the new spot, though, so that's good.

so, i had a really good weekend. i like my boyfriend and best friends. they make my life good when i'm a little stressed. well, they make my life good when i'm not stressed too.

i think my nose ring is healing, that's also good.

i apologize for the disjointed blogs.

peanut butter

and crackers.

make me happy. :-)

it's a two post kind of day

-i feel God more in my life than i have in a long time, and that makes me super happy, grateful, unworthy, emotional, excited, relieved, overwhelmed, exposed, behind, thankful, and content.

-i really love my job.

-i love my other job.

-i adore my friends.

-i have a really sweet boyfriend.

-i really like my Blackberry, Edwin.

-my bed is cozy.

-Sex and the City re-runs never let me down.

i will now give in to sleepy time.

ow ow

so, today, SCS (www.secondcitystyle.com) was mentioned in the NY Times! i think that's rather exciting!

check it out if you have some times. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/22/technology/start-ups/22blogpaper.html?_r=3

i need to work lots and lots today.

i am excited about birthday festivities tonight, then some shakespeare and boyfriend this weekend...yes...followed by some bestie time.

i'm trying not to get too excited, because it seems that i'm always let down when i do that. i'm just not sure how that is possible with this weekend.

italiano

so, i think that i've decided to try and learn italian.

i'm pretty good with spanish, so i feel like it won't be too difficult. however, i'm trying to figure out the best route.

i would be majorly open to suggestions on the best program.

i'm thinking that i will utilize it to and from work (that's about an hour a day).

let me know!

ps. rosetta stone is ex-pen-sive!

books smell gooooood

my eye feels better today.

a shout out to jessica conn, for making me feel better about my eye. :-)

it is much better today...i think she was right on the whole "allergy" thing. hooray for successfully evading blindness. that's one point for me.


this is a spectacular day. for many, many reasons.

currently, this is why i'm so gleeful: http://www.hulu.com/live/inauguration.

my eye itches...

and i've never had an eye infection, so i'm not sure what it's like...

but i've got an itchy eye, it is red, and it stings a bit. hmmm.

i will google and self-diagnose.

i love google.

steal some cover, share some skin

i am happy that frederick is a good, trusty car.

i just knocked on wood, and i'm not even superstitious...

today

Today is rough.

I wish I were better today.

A better person, a better listener, and just better at life.

I need ice cream.

baseball season...

come on.

i'm ready, ready, ready.

this year i'd like to get on the road a little more and see some ball parks that i've never seen.

i'd like to go to a game in denver or boston. i've never been to those, and i hear they are nice.

i'd also like to return to st. louis or atlanta...or even dallas. alas, i just need a serious vacay.

these are my picks for the season. not necessarily their teams, but them as players.



easy pick, you say? well, i don't care. he's adorable and likely the most kind-faced man ever. plus i like his swing. i hope he stays hot all season...that'd be great!



oh frenchy. yes, i do have a slight crush on jeff, but i will never forget the way my heart stopped the first time i saw him hose someone out at home plate from right field. geeze. it gives me chills just thinking about it.



i've had my eye on this guy for years now, being that he's from stilly. i was so excited about his success last year, and i'm really looking forward to seeing his progress this year. rockies, you lose.



i am most excited about this guy! i think that he's learned a lot from renteria, and he's improved so much since he's entered in the mlb. last year was his first walk-off homerun, and i expect to see many more from this guy. he's probably one of the smartest players i've seen in a long time. that coupled with the fact that he's actually good...watch out for this guy, that's all i'm saying.



dear andruw, come back to the braves. boo the dogers.

sneeezzy

although i'm sneezing like a crazy smhoo.

i'm really siked...cause it's snowing! woo woo!

ick

my throat huuuurts! boo that.

i do feel a little than last night, though.

thank goodness for relaxing, working-from-home days.

today will be productive...

i gots lots to do.

eeek.

these books will not edit themselves. boo.

it is ridiculous.

i miss london so much.

fin

this week has been long, and i am exceedingly happy that it's the weekend! almost...

it's weird

but i'm actually glad to work today. it's nice having a purpose and stuff.

yeeeah.

current addiction:

Jennifer Juniper

so, the little things make me happy.

my boss gets his wife flowers every week. they are on her desk every monday morning for her to enjoy all week long.

her face lights up so much when she gets them, and so far i've only known her a year. i'm not sure how long this has been going on, but it's so precious.

i'm not a huge "i like to get flowers" kind of girl, but i am a girl, so of course they are nice every now and again. i'm generally happy with a sweet card or just some good old fashioned time.

anyway, it makes me happy that after 30+ years of marriage, they are still very much in love and trying to make the other person happy.

it's refreshing.

current shame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVTyLqkez6A

That gentleman over there is basically a cash piñata waiting to be whacked open.

that's right. season premiere of Scrubs tonight.

oh that makes me happy!

strawberry fields forever

i'm sooooo coooold! eeek. i can't warm up. it's kind of ridiculous!

i'm sure i'll live.

well, another week of intense reading. hmm, sounds good to me.

i planted a little strawberry plant on my desk today. i'm excited about that.

i'm expecting strawberries by noon.

so push me i'll fall

today my daddy came and spent the day with me. we had a really good time and it made me happy. we found and explored a buddhist temple in northeast okc. we laughed a lot and made good memories.

i really missed him.

the last few days i've been very thankful to have a warm place to stay. not everyone does.

this pretty much sums up how i feel right now:

So push me I'll fall
If you pull me I'll drown
If you're gonna be nailin me down
I won't rise again

again, thanks damien, for the raw truth and beauty in your lyrics.

i just did a lot of things today.

i always like the kinds of days where i come in overwhelmed, stare at the looming pile of "to-do" for a while, then i dive in.

at the end of the day, as i step back and look at what i've accomplished, i'm quiet pleased with myself.

hooray for working.

hgtv

makes me super, duper happy. that's what i'm watching right now, and have been for hours. it has felt really nice to relax a bit and know that i am at the beginning of a full month. whew. it will be a bit less stressful.

yesterday i had a really nice day with my boyfriend. that made me happy. i had a good new year's, and i haven't had one of those in a about 7 years. seriously...i can't remember the last time my new year's eve was fantastic. so...that's rad.
